  • Title: HLA-A and -B Type and Haplotype Frequencies in IgG Subclass Deficiency Subgroups.
    Author: Barton JC, Barton JC, Bertoli LF, Acton RT.
    Journal: Arch Immunol Ther Exp (Warsz); 2020 Apr 20; 68(3):14. PubMed ID: 32307610.
    Abstract:
    We sought to determine whether HLA-A and -B type and haplotype frequencies differ between subgroups of adults with IgG subclass deficiency (IgGSD). We retrospectively compared type and haplotype frequencies of three subgroups of 269 unrelated adult IgGSD patients (70 subnormal IgG1; 121 subnormal IgG3; 78 subnormal IgG1/IgG3) and controls (1,321 for types; 751 for haplotypes). We selected types and haplotypes because their uncorrected frequencies differed significantly from controls in a previous adult IgGSD/common variable immunodeficiency cohort: A*24; B*14; B*35; B*40; B*49; B*50; B*58; B*62; A*01,B*08; A*02,B*44; A*02,B*60; A*03,B*07; A*03,B*14; A*03,B*44; A*31,B*40; and A*32,B*14. We used χ2 analysis (2 × 4 tables) to identify frequency differences across three subgroups and controls. If the null hypothesis was rejected (p < 0.05), we computed 2 × 2 χ2 tables to compare six combinations of subgroup and control frequencies [Bonferroni p < 0.0083 (< 0.05/6)]. Mean age was 48 ± 13 years; 82.2% were women. B*35 and B*40 frequencies were higher in subnormal IgG1 than subnormal IgG3 patients (0.1000 vs. 0.0248 and 0.0571 vs. 0.0083, respectively; p ≤ 0.0061). B*62 frequencies were lower in three IgGSD subgroups than controls (p < 0.0001, respectively). A*02, B*44 frequency was higher in subnormal IgG1/IgG3 patients than controls (0.1282 vs. 0.0632, respectively; p = 0.0024). A*02, B*60 frequency was lower in subnormal IgG3 patients than controls (0.0 vs. 0.0233, respectively; p = 0.0051). HLA-B*35 and -B*40 frequencies differ significantly between some IgGSD subgroups. B*62, A*02, B*44, and A*02, B*60 frequencies differ significantly between some IgGSD subgroups and controls.
